Agnes of God

by John Pielmeier
In the Pinkerton Theatre through Oct. 20

*Content Advisory: This production includes adult language, situations, and herbal cigarette smoking.

Agnes, a convent novice, gives birth but does not believe she has. After the child is found dead, a court-appointed psychiatrist sent to investigate clashes with the convent’s Mother Superior. This provocative mystery explores the meaning of faith, the power of love, and leads to a compelling climax.

Audiences are raving!

“Incredible direction from Alyssa Goudy for this thought-provoking and gut-wrenching story. I will continue to process this one for awhile. Shannon Maloney, Lynne Doyle, and Vera Samuels … each gave raw, and beautifully acted performances … No surprise there when you pack a show with these three powerhouse ladies! Brava!!” ~ J. Baker
“Last night I witnessed a masterclass in acting performance…start to finish the production was spellbinding…the three (actors) had a realistic chemistry together that made me forget I was watching a play. My thanks and admiration for an unforgettable night of theatre.” ~ R. Goodwin
“The three actresses were exceptional. And they told a amazing story with just a few props. The staging was remarkable.” ~ L. Johnston

The Torch Bearers

by George Kelly
In the Raymond Center through Oct. 13

“Excellent presentation of madcap humor of the Marx brothers years. Actor’s timing was great as this humor is very hard to do effectively.” ~ P. Lack

In honor of our 75th Diamond Anniversary, we are re-mounting The Torch Bearers, the first play we ever produced back in December of 1950! George Kelly’s witty 1922 farce about a group of neighbors starting a Little Theatre in their community is truly Venice Theatre’s origin story.

Celebrate our 75th with The Torch Bearers!
